Casemiro

Real Madrid star Casemiro has been linked with a move to Manchester United with Erik ten Hag desperate to add more quality to his midfield before the ...

All of that will be an afterthought for Ten Hag, though, as its his defensive capabilities which will appeal most to the United boss. That’s a point captured by the fact only five La Liga midfielders who played over 1000 minutes could better his progressive pass per 90 average last season (8.51). He’ll cost an expensive fee up front and his wages will be high too. However, Real signed Casemiro’s potential long-term successor, Aurelien Tchouameni, for £80million earlier in the summer. Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has been the club’s primary target for much of the summer, but as that saga drags on, they have started turning their attention to other options. A £15million fee for Adrien Rabiot was agreed with Juventus last week, although personal terms have not yet been finalised.

Marca report Manchester United have expressed interest in Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, a five time Champions League winner.

At 30, he still has plenty more left to offer and should not be considered over the hill. At the weekend Casemiro was on the bench for Real’s opening game of the season, playing only the final seven minutes of a 2-1 win over Almeria. A move for Casemiro would be an audacious swoop and a fantastic one if the Red Devils can pull it off.

Man United turn their attention to Real Madrid's Casemiro having failed to sign Frenkie de Jong.

Ten Hag is on the hunt for new talent following his side's awful start to the new Premier League season. The Dutch midfielder has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Man United failing to strike a deal with the Spanish giants. Erik ten Hag singled out De Jong as a key transfer target this summer, but, as of yet, he's no closer to completing the transfer of his former player.

Ten Hag needs reinforcements, and United need an answer, but with only two weeks left in the summer window their time is running out. The old-school midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro is due to come to an abrupt end at some point, but Madrid are already prepared with Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde ready and waiting. But their inability to do so this summer just goes to show how far they have fallen. But this summer has been particularly alarming, and also damaging to their reputation. The 30-year-old was vital in Madrid's double-winning season that saw them lift both the La Liga title and the Champions League. Rabiot is represented by his mother Veronique, and not only was she supposedly not keen on Manchester as a destination, she's driving a hard bargain over a potential package for her son.

MANCHESTER UNITED are turning to Casemiro as their latest midfield transfer target.

United have laboured to 2-1 defeats to Brighton and a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford in their first two matches of the new Premier League season. Casemiro is more of a ball-winning No 6 than the technical pass master De Jong but his arrival would no doubt ease the frustrations of Ten Hag. And so Casemiro, who the Red Devils believe to be in the same calibre as De Jong, is the new top option. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) are convinced that Casemiro is a similarly elite player to Frenkie de Jong, according to reports. United have identified the £50million-rated 30-year-old as an ideal candidate to anchor their midfield under Ten Hag. A move to United seems highly unlikely.

Man United are targeting Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro in a bid to strengthen Erik ten Hag's squad.

Although the thought of United being brave enough to deploy a 4-1-4-1 system at the moment, certainly on current form, is not a pretty one, it is a system, over time, that Casemiro could feature in if Erik ten Hag was prepared to use it. That approach would leave United with two more midfield positions to fill, both of which would be attack-minded. Casemiro, however, would be a suitable alternative to the Dutchman if United can make it happen, as he would offer the bite and aggression that they are sorely lacking in midfield. Casemiro would be United's holding midfielder, offering a much-needed layer of protection to the defensive rearguard. That would leave Eriksen and Fernandes squabbling for the advanced-midfield berth, operating as the No.10 behind the lone striker. It is currently unclear if the 30-year-old would be open to moving to Old Trafford or whether his representative is using United in a bid to increase Casemiro's salary.

CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a shock target for Manchester United.

Despite having agreed a £15million deal with Juventus for Rabiot, United are understood to have since cooled their interest on that front. While United are thought to consider the signing of the Brazilian a 'long shot', they are believed to have been given encouragement that a deal could take place. United may also have seen their chances of landing the 63-time Brazil international boosted by the fact the defensive midfielder seemingly faces a battle on his hands to retain his starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid are not closed to the possibility of selling Casemiro this summer but will demand a massive fee from Manchester United.
